I might have stopped watching it this year but the gay storyline is good and responsible. That means a lot to me.

A week or so ago, two cheerleaders and Gwyneth Paltrow's guest character played and sang "Landslide" in a moment of sapphic love. Later, Paltrow's character (a sex ed counselor) said she loved "getting her Stevie Nicks on."

If they do a whole Rumours show I'm wondering who will get to sing what? I can see the leads singing "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams" but who will sing "Oh Daddy"? Who will take on "Gold Dust Woman"?

It's probably impossible to guess--so many of these decisions will be based on the plot of the moment (Who's in love? Who's been jilted?). Still, loads of fun to guess, and I'm in the mood to procrastinate.
I've starred the predictions I have the strongest feeling about.

Second Hand News--Will or Puck
Dreams--Quinn*
Never Going Back again--Will or Puck
Don't Stop--Group Number
Go Your Own Way--Finn
Songbird--Kurt*
The Chain--Group number, solo to Rachel
You Make Loving Fun--Rachel (maybe Artie if they're feeling risky)
I Don't Want to Know--The couple of the moment (Finn and Rachel or Quinn)
Oh Daddy--Rachel
Gold Dust Woman--Santana*

I wonder if a couple of them will try to recreate the album pose in some way.

As I've said before, I've never watched Glee, but I was wondering about how many songs do they perform on each episode? Would they do every song from the Rumours LP?

I just hope that the songs maintain their edge cause alot of the songs aren't exactly "kid friendly"!

I think it averages about 7, so they'll probably cut some of the songs.

I don't think they'll do much to make the songs kid-friendlier. Their most obvious edits have been around curse words (not an issue here) and the most obviously inappropriate lyrics--mature themes haven't been an issue.
I mean, they sang Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me and Sweet Tranvestite in the Rocky Horror ep--those are WAY more controversial than anything on Rumours. A couple of lyrics might be edited, but probably nothing major. Someone was wondering about GDW because it refers to cocaine, but I really doubt it would stop them from doing the song because the meaning is fairly obscure. No 12-year-old is going to hear "silver spoon" and think of drugs.

The Gold Dust Woman scene could take place in an ice cream parlor. God knows I'll be digging my grave with a silver spoon if I don't lay off the Dairy Queen waffle bowls!

Lol, to go along with Mercedes and her tots addiction.

The entire cast will perform their parts on separate soundstages, and the episode will be pieced together by three neurotic editors over a 13-month period. When released on DVD, each disc will be protected by two slipcases which you can never fit back together, and the cover art will be a picture of a dog biting an ear.

Love these ideas

I'm bleh about the Glee thing. I agree with mezzoforte -- the worst case scenario isn't too awful and if it can make a difference for even one poor kid starved of quality music, that's great
